Perfect location and wonderful place to stay!

We loved staying here for a week. It was an amazing location with a private beach. Very large with plenty of room for everyone as well as a nicely stocked kitchen. Nice and easy walk to the beach across the street. The 4th floor balcony was very relaxing to sit with coffee in the morning and enjoying the evening breeze. Communication was amazing during our stay as well. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Renee Harmon & Michelle Bacot

Host profile image
Stay That Way, LLC is a partnership between myself, Renee' Harmon, and my sister Michelle Bacot. We live in Jonesboro, Arkansas and just bought this home in 2019. We have always vacationed in the area, and dreamed of having our own home at the beach. After losing both or our parents in 2018, we decided that time is too precious to wait another day. We feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful, spacious unit to enjoy spending time with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

The units are quite large, 2200 sq ft - almost as large as the homes in the area. The condo building is beautiful, well made with quality materials and well maintained. The property is very close to the beach. There is also a pool that is heated early spring and fall. The rooms are large and although we come here to get together we also have the room to spread out. The beach is easy access and is rarely crowded as some of the other beaches in the area can be. It also has chair rental service which is great. It is in the heart of 30A, close to many restaurants, activities and shopping, but also not in a congested crowed area... a little more quiet and relaxing when needed.

What makes this property unique

Location, Beach Access and amenities makes the Villas at Seagrove a great place to stay. As for our 4th floor unit, we really enjoy having a view out to the Gulf. It is a great place to start your morning and great way to start your evenings.
